In July 2011, Soft Metals released their debut self-titled album on Captured Tracks to critical acclaim. Soft Metals is diverse record of forward-facing synth pop that still pays homage to a wide range of past influences, and so garnered the attention of a wide range of tastes.

This 12" gathers 5 remixes (8 with the digital download) that represent an even further reach of those tastes, from a host of friends and contemporaries: Copy, Xander Harris, VALIS, Yard, Casa del Mirto, The Soulless Party, Newclear Waves, and The Drum.

While these tracks are aimed squarely at the dance floor, their spirit reverberates even further, with a large part of the proceeds going directly to Doctors Without Borders, an organization of doctors & nurses that provide urgent care to victims of disaster & war.

Soft Metals - The Remixes, available in early May on Sweating Tapes limited edition vinyl, and through various digital outlets.
